If the panic happens during boot, you should select an older kernel. If it happens with all kernels, look at the dump output to figure out what process (s) is causing the dump. Boot into single user mode (or use a rescue CD to mount the local partition) and remove the service from the startup scripts.

Thx for all the responses. I received the "kernel panic no sync" error after updating the Yum rpm manager for RHEL6. When I got home from work and wanted to bootup my laptop, I got the "kernal panic" error and no boot. It will boot in failsafe mode.
